Half term week

This week is our usual time to make any little changes we've been storing up during the year. This year it's the turn of the top bedroom which is getting a new ceiling and upgaded insulation. It's also time for the large pine fire surround in the living room to go.

Weather is still holding up very nicely, It's warm on the beach and the beach fishermen are out in force.

Norfolk Dinosaur Park

Not exactly close to the cottage - it's the opposite side of Norwich - is the Norwich Dinosaur Park. A pretty good day out if your children are into dinosaurs (mine are). Although not exactly cheap (roughly £10 per head) you could easily spend most of the day here, food is reasonable but take your own to keep costs down. If you don't want to venture that far there is always the Dinosaur Crazy Golf on the seafront!. Their website is here.

Sealed

It may be a common site further round the coast towards Blakney, but we'd never seen a seal this close to the beach. He / She was taking it's time slowly moving along the shoreline, diving then surfacing a few metres further down. We watched it for a good 30 mins, only vanishing for good when the lifeboat came out for a practice (see next post).

For Sale - Why Not?

Royal Cottage For Sale

We were on holiday last week in Mundesley and while walking through the village saw a private FOR SALE sign on the cottage that we had stayed in for two years previously. Paul and I said to each other "should we buy it?" and within a few months the cottage was ours.

Edward wasn't sure but we managed to persuade him with a game of crazy golf.
